Gerry in Japan

Some more pics from our recent trip to Japan.

On the second day that we were there, we headed out to a small island with a theme park. I can't remember the name of the place in English but cest la vie!


This is him at the entrance posing with the theme park mascot. This picture is actually proof of how friendly Japanese people are. The customer service lady spotted us taking a picture of Gerry and grabbed the plushie so that he could take a picture with their mascot. How cool is that!


One of the many rides at the theme park there. These rides seem to be quite popular in Japanese theme parks and are kind of like mini dodgem's but without any crashing.


One of the more fun activities at the theme park was this giant needle which you could ride up in. Once it got to the top, it would come slowly down, spinning in a circle, so that you got a pretty good view of the entire island. You can probably imagine how difficult it was to get Gerry to look at the camera instead of looking outside.


And of course, how could any trip to an island be complete without a small boat ride.


The theme parks version of the Mad Hatters Tea Cup - this one themed to the Power Puff Girls (don't ask me how I know that).
